The best hostel I’ve come across! The lofts were a fantastic little room to stay in. You get to enjoy the therapeutic sounds of the wind and the water in the evening, which is bliss.

This hostel is right at the beach . The personnel is wonderful and very helpful . The rooms are ok but my advice would be not to have the ones with the curtains as this hostel is a party hostel and it tend to be very noisy at night .
They provide good food at a reasonable price and a free breakfast who is very good ( the pork Tocino is perfect )
They don’t provide transportation from airport to the hostel but the other way round is possible and will cost you 400 peso.
There is no hot water in the whole hostel ( not really needed for shower ) but take it into consideration is you eve need to do laundry.
At night this hostel is very lively and have a lot of activities like beer pong or quizz which makes it not hard to get on well with other customers .
Finally I will definitely recommend this hostel to those who like to party and have a great time in el nido , for families it might be too noisy .
Overall a great experience
Response from Property: Hi Fabrice, thank you for your awesome review! We really would like to thank you for supporting us. Your stay at Mad Monkey makes a real difference here in the local community.

The location is paradisiacal, the staff is very kind, and the activities offered are great. The only downside is the heat in the rooms
Response from Property: Hi there! It was an absolute delight having you stay here with our team at Mad Monkey. Due to the summer season, the temperature has been quite challenging for people here in the Philippines especially for those not accustomed to the heat. Thank you for understanding that it is out of our control. I wish you the best for your onward trip! Thanks for choosing our socially responsible hostel.

Amazing location spent the whole day on the beach relaxing! Exactly what we needed. Delicious food, great-priced drinks, and super awesome staff members. Some minor points, the loft we chose was great however the fan was WAY TOO LOUD. Probably needs replacing with a new one. The bathroom/showers were cleaned well though could do with a face-lift, the soap dispensers were also always empty.
Overall, we'd stay again but would be better prepared!

Lovely and friendly staff, they were very helpful on answering questions and providing information about tours/ transport.
I stayed in the private 6 bed room, it was very cosy and stuffy, each bed had its own fan but it wasn't enough cold air for the whole night. Each bed had a socket and a small cupboard to place your luggage, you might want to bring your own lock. The bed were a good size and soft.
The restaurant had good food but a little pricey. Every night there is an event going on and music, luckily you don't hear it in the rooms. The bathroom/ shower are was clean and spacious, bring your own towel.
One the best things about the Hostel is it has the best beach view, you only have to walk 2 mins and the sea is right there.
However, to get to the hostel you have to walk through the sand to arrive there, if you have a suitcase be ready to carry it across the sand (backpack is easier).
Overall, a lovely place to enjoy and relax for a beach holiday. Sand, sea and sun 🌞🌞🌞

The location it is a bit complicated and far from and El Nido, but the view and service give them extra point. I really enjoy my night there. Maybe my favorite beach in Philippines
